About Kathy Eastwood
My passion in life is inspiring and enabling others to realize their dreams. It is as simple as applying the formula: Express + Engage + Execute, powered by Emotions. I learned this through my 30 years of experience working in large and small corporations, across numerous functions, with outstanding leaders, supporting my advancement to the C-suite and horrific managers that created toxic cultures. My story has created the foundation for my business, E Equals Why. * Working remotely and managing teams globally for over 20 years. * Humbled by the number of employees that would recommend others to work for or with me * Hitting the proverbial glass ceiling: named the successor for 3 roles and never asked to interview when vacated. * Workplace harassment, resulting in me and 3 other females (team of 10) resigning on the same day. * Driving numerous restructures, some positive, i.e. M&A, and some challenging, i.e. workforce reductions. * Sitting at the executive table, balancing the need to deliver shareholder results and care for the people. My experience has taught me that the key element for success is strong leadership that is rooted in people. And thus, why I built E Equals Why, to help nurture great leaders and eradicate poor managers. We have built an E3 Methodology: Express | Engage | Execute to help deliver outcomes, along with the E3 Emotional Toolkit to foster nurturing capabilities, aiding leaders to connect to the hearts of their people and improve the experience for all. I have held various leadership roles in Human Resources, Operations, Finance, Sales, SaaS, Services, Customer Success, Project Management, Marketing, and Engineering. Often described as a nurturing driver I know how to successfully gets things done through strong employee engagement.
